Twentieth Century Fox’s manufacturing on demand (MOD) program has announced that they are going to release the original film adaptation of “Captain America” on DVD for the first time! The DVD will be released July 19 as part of MGM’s Limited Edition Collection.
“Captain America” stars Matt Salinger (“What Dreams May Come”) as the chemically-altered superhero whose new abilities and strength can help save the United States from nuclear destruction:
During World War II, a brave American soldier (Salinger) volunteers to undergo experiments to become a new super-soldier, codenamed ‘Captain America.’ Infiltrating Germany to sabotage Nazi rockets pointed at the U.S., Captain America faces off with Nazi superhuman warrior Red Skull (Scott Paulin, The Right Stuff) who defeats the hero, throwing him into suspended animation. Frozen for 50 years, Captain America is found and revived only to find that Red Skull has changed identities and has targeted the President of the United States (Ronny Cox, RoboCop) for assassination. With America on the verge of utter chaos, it is up to one man to save the day!
The film also stars Ned Beatty (“Superman”), Darren McGavin (“A Christmas Story”), Michael Nouri (“Flashdance”) and Melinda Dillon (“Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) and Kim Gillingham (“One Big Family”). “Captain America” will be available for sale on online retailers everywhere.
